Embedded IE - Copying content

[DiscoSeb]

Hello,

 

I have a problem with an embedded IE and AutoIt in last version:

I recently upgraded to AutoIt version 3.3.10.2 and since it's impossible to "copy" the content of an embedded IE.

(It works fine with autoit 3.3.8.1)

 

Example with this code :

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

GUICreate("Embedded IE Test", 640, 480, -1, -1)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Close")
Global $oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")
GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 0, 0, 640, 480)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$oIE.navigate("http://www.autoitscript.com")

While 1
    sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Close()
    Exit
EndFunc

If you try to copy some text from IE in notepad, you can't.

I have the same problem with the IE UDF.

 

Does anyone has the same problem?

How to solve this problem with AutoIt 3.3.10.2 ?

 

Thanks

Firstly, you're wrong, and secondly, please post the code you tried that led you to make those claims, and you'll get some help.

I use an embedded IE object to view this site (the Deal-A-Day script in my signature), and have also seen this behavior on 3.3.10.0

[JohnOne]

You must be clarvoiant because I don't even know what behaviour we are talking about.

But I do know that a lot of websites don't support IE7, which I believe a browser object is.

[JLogan3o13]

From what I gather, the OP is stating that, when using an embedded IE object, he is unable to copy text on a webpage inside the object and then paste to another application such as Notepad. If, for example, I attempt to copy your previous post and copy into another application (be it Word, Notepad, etc.) it will not do so if I am running the site inside an embedded IE object.

[JohnOne]

Quite odd then as it has always and still does work for me.

Definitely odd, as your script does not work for me. Just out of curiosity, what OS, IE and bitness are you on?

[JohnOne]

I'm on win7 32, the IE I have is 10, but I don't think IE matters, as the activeX web browser object is IE 7 as far as I know.

#include <IE.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>


_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

Local $oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
GUICreate("Embedded Web control Test", 640, 580, _
        (@DesktopWidth - 640) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2, _
        $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS + $WS_CLIPCHILDREN)
GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 600, 360)

GUISetState() ;Show GUI

_IENavigate($oIE, "about:blank")

Local $aVersion = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "appversion")

ConsoleWrite($aVersion & @LF)

Result: "4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0...."

Hello,

 

I just did the test on other computers and the result is the same : with AutoIt 3.3.10.2 copy does not work, no problem with 3.3.8.1

 

First computer : Win 7 64 bits French, IE 10.0.9200.16750

Second computer : Win 7 32 bits French, IE 8.0.7601.17514

[water]

Windows 7 64 bit, IE 11. Tested with AutoIt 3.3.10.2 and 3.3.11.3. Doesn't work on both versions. Windows runs in a Virutal Machine on Ubuntu.

ActiveX object: "4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; ..."

[JLogan3o13]

Same here - "4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0;", very strange.

[DW1]

Copy to clipboard also not working for me within embedded IE.

Win 8.1 x64

4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0;...

[water]

DW1,

Which AutoIt version?

[BrewManNH]

Anyone open a bug report on this yet?

[DW1]

DW1,

Which AutoIt version?

Tested against 3.3.10.2 and 3.3.11.3

[JLogan3o13]

Anyone open a bug report on this yet?

 

I don't believe so, I noticed the OP and commented on it - I don't do that much in the way of copying back and forth so haven't submitted anything about it. I will submit one.

Edit: Before I do, I am going to try it out on my WIN7 x86 VM. Just crazy to me that it is working for JohnOne

[JohnOne]

I'm still using 3.3.8.1 though, if I run with last beta before 3.3.10 release, it does not work.

Must be a bug.

EDIT:

And a very strange one at that.

@OP, Bug Trac ticket #2639 has been created for the issue reported.

Edited January 26, 2014 by JLogan3o13

Direct link >> #2639

[Iczer]

for me in #2639 only Send("^v") part do no work

but this working pretty fine on both 3.3.8.1. and 3.3.10.2
